A reference to the Tyga man song “Coconut Juice” (Wiz is no hater)
Wiz rolls his weed, which is lime-colored green, in a Swisher Sweet cigar, demonstrating his avant garde tastes in a game dominated by Philly-brand blunds. If everyone did the same, we might be calling them swishers instead of blunts! Damn, I’m high

Returning to the body/street art theme, Wiz says his body is covered with so many tattoos it looks like this:
This line is a recycled Wayne line, albeit from an unlikely source: his guest verse in Destiny’s Child’s “Soldier”

“Stars” are the main symbol for his crew, Taylor Gang. Wiz plays with the pronunciation of “star” to make it seem as if he’s saying it’s “our” year (referring to his label blowing up). Aside from that, Wiz literally has stars on his face, hands, body and feet.

Wiz compares his body to a graffiti-strewn wall from the 1980s, when New York City was bankrupt and street art was at its peak. Incidentally, Wiz was only three years old when the 80s ended and was living on military bases with his mom and dad

Wizzie is from Pittsburgh, not Houston, so ‘purp’ here refers to purple haze, a high-end variety of pot*, not cough syrup. Wizzie wants us to picture him shirtless with his 16 torso tattoos, exhaling a cloud of smoke. Easy..
*Purple haze is a favorite with brand-crazy rappers, who enjoy the “creeper” (delayed) effect. Styles P, on his hit single “I Get High”, tells us he refuses to smoke herb that is not “purple or blue”!

Thesis statement: unlike other rappers, who confine body art to the shoulders, chest and upper back because they are fearful of society’s judgment, Wizzie does not care what they think
At a time when other rappers are getting tattoos removed, Wiz is adding more and has no intention of ever getting rid of them
